Why it matters

It ought to be obvious why it matters that an imposter is sending out messages under my name, but the fans of the imposter are pretending it’s just a harmless joke and I’m a whiney idiot for objecting.

That’s just a sample of the pretending it’s just a harmless joke and I’m a whiney idiot for objecting, to give you an idea of it.

So I’ll demonstrate.

That’s why. One of the haters is telling the other haters that I started following him yesterday. I didn’t. That’s why the imposter account matters.

Surely Twitter will do something when the name is identical? Parody accounts are not great, although a sort of compliment that you are obviously saying the right things to annoy them, but at least they are obviously a parody. Strange the pit is so moral and upstanding when “FfTBs” edits comments, bans, blocks or dox’s but anything attacking FtBs bloggers is fine. Wonder where they would draw a line…

NoxiousNan@1: No, email lists = collusion and conspiracy. Theirs is a decentralized harassment campaign made of individuals who come to the conclusion that harassing us is totes cool each in isolation.

The screen shot here shows the fake account does deceive others, so the account violates Twitter’s ToS, even if someone claims the intent is parody — and the account violates the rules for parody accounts anyway. Even with the appearance of the profile changed, the Tweets still appear as “@OpheliaBenson”.
